Default My G37 has a garage partner, wifes Scion got replaced

We ended up getting that 2010 IS from Carmax. They added $500 to her trade, took $500 off the sticker since we bought from them when we traded...got it for $22,900. Just broke 49k miles on it today. The brake noise that we heard was because they didn't put the shims back on the front for some reason. I also got the 7 yr/100k platinum warranty for $1300.

Went to bed with this




Woke up with










Keeps My G company

Carmax sticker is gone. Took those pics before I took the clay bar, compound, and wax to it. No sign of carmax remains except their lame *** carquest brakes

You can install the F Sport sway bars. I'm sure she won't mind that one

haha I like my 100+ HP advantage. The Lexus definitely is a nice cruise around town car. But my G37 is more fun on the backroads.
